Notes

• Blast began life as a miscoloring of Thrust (coloring errors were very frequent in the original Transformers cartoon). Recognizing this as an opportunity, Hayato Sakamoto decided to establish this miscoloring as a new character in his works, provisionally designating him "Blast"—a portmanteau of "Black Thrust" (ブラックスラスト Burakku Surasuto).
